The Federal Government is on the verge of appointing Reno Omokri, a former aide to the president, along with ex-governors Okezie Ikpeazu and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, and former Senator Shehu Sani as ambassadors.
Sources reveal that they are currently undergoing security screenings by the Department of State Services, a necessary step prior to any official announcement.
This development follows the recall of all Nigerian foreign envoys nearly a year ago, which raised concerns about the nation’s diplomatic presence.
It is reported that their résumés have been submitted to the appropriate authorities, and background checks are currently being conducted.
A senior government official, who chose to remain anonymous, explained, “Only those who successfully pass the DSS screening will be announced. The process is progressing, and we expect the official list to be made public before the end of this month.”
